Triple – A

Toledo 5 – Louisville 0

As was mentioned last night’s game thread, and was mentioned briefly during the televised broadcast, Homer Bailey’s second start of the season was not a good one.  Bailey gave up 3 runs on 3 hits, 3 walks, and a hit batter.  Bailey surrendered two homeruns before plunking a batter.  After the beanball, the home plate umpire promptly tossed Bailey from the game.  Bailey is now 0-2 with an 11.25 ERA in two starts.

To make matters worse for the Bats, Wes Bankston had the only hit of the night for the team.  Bankston went 1-2 with a double and a walk.
